WELCOME

As in everyday life, partnerships are an important part of what we do as they allow us to connect with different parts of Australian communities. Last year we celebrated 15 years as Principal Partner of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, which continues to be incredibly important for Emirates.

For us, partnerships are all about people, who are more important than ever. This is why we place people at the core of everything we do.

In Australia, Emirates has gone from strength to strength over the past 22 years with the support of this great country. We are thrilled to continue to enhance our footprint in Australia, and in March introduced a fourth daily Sydney service. This has given Australian travellers even more opportunities to connect to our global route network of over 150 destinations in more than 80 countries and territories, including 39 European destinations, via our hub in Dubai.

We strive to offer a superior experience every time our passengers step aboard one of our world-class aircraft. With up to 3,000 channels on our award-winning inflight entertainment system “ice”, our passengers are able to watch key Sydney Symphony Orchestra performances from thousands of metres above. This is all while enjoying gourmet meals across each of our classes which are composed by leading chefs.

We are a truly international airline which includes many Australian Pilots, Cabin Crew and support teams. It is these people who work together, much like an orchestra, to ensure that our operations run harmoniously each and every day.

On that note, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Emirates Metro Series and I hope that you enjoy this world-class experience.

ABOUT THE MUSIC

KeynotesDEBUSSYBorn St Germain-en-Laye, 1862

Died Paris, 1918

In attempting to establish a palpably ‘French’ musical style in the face of the Austro-Germanic tradition, Debussy brought about the birth of modern music. He first heard the sound of gamelan music at the Paris Exposition of 1889, and this prompted him to adopt non-traditional scales and free-floating effects. In both his orchestral and his piano music he explored new instrumental and harmonic colours, and his style has often been compared with that of the Impressionists in visual art, even though Debussy himself hated the term ‘Impressionism’.

IMAGES

When played in full, Debussy’s Images for orchestra forms a triptych: three pictures, each representing a different European country through its dancing. The three parts were composed over eight years (1905–1912) and were originally performed and published separately. In this concert we perform Gigues (originally sad jigs), Debussy’s portrait of England based on the folk song ‘Keel Row’ and, after interval, Ibéria, a brilliant evocation of Spain in three sections.

Claude Debussy Two Images for orchestraGiguesIbéria

Three of Debussy’s four orchestral works are triptychs. The amount of connection between the movements within each work varies: La Mer has been described as almost symphonic; Nocturnes abruptly contrasts meditations on the basic idea of the title (‘night music’). Images is less unified. Its three parts were written over eight years and first performed as separate pieces. Indeed, they are published as separate scores, ‘Images pour orchestre’ appearing as a subtitle. The extra-musical intention of Images, to evoke three different European countries (England, Ibéria for Spain, and France), suggests diversity and even eclecticism.

Images, however, is more than a set of musical postcards. The orchestration outdoes any of Debussy’s earlier scoring in sophistication and brilliance, but mostly the resources are deployed with subtlety and understatement. Even the rousing climaxes fail to raise the roof; Debussy prefers to remain objective. Almost incredibly, the music was originally conceived for two pianos.

Gigues, published first, was actually the last ‘image’ to be composed, reaching completion in 1913. It is Debussy’s portrait of England, a country he visited several times, and lays claim to being one of his strangest, yet most utterly characteristic, achievements. Its paradox is indicated by its original title: ‘Gigues tristes’ (sad jigs). The basic material is the well-known English tune ‘The Keel Row’, but presented in distorted and truncated form. The other main element is a melancholy, folk-like tune for the sweet but rare oboe d’amore. At first the music moves in fits and starts, until the introduction of the second half of the ‘Keel Row’ seems to signal an escape from gloom. But this is abruptly halted by an icy blast which descends from the piccolos through the entire woodwind section, leaving the stage to the oboe d’amore and reminiscences of the opening.

Ibéria comes from a long tradition of French composers’ evocations of Spain. Debussy only ever visited Spain for one afternoon. However, even Manuel de Falla, Spain’s most eminent composer of the time, regarded Ibéria as the best example of a French work on a Hispanic subject. It is the longest of the three movements, and is itself subdivided into three movements or sections. ‘Par les rues et par les chemins’ (Along the streets and pathways) is in a spirited dance tempo. ‘Les parfums de la nuit’ (The perfumes of the night) is a long and sensual Spanish

nocturne, enriched by harps and much-divided strings. The finale, ‘Le matin d’un jour de fête’ (The morning of a festival day), follows without a break; Debussy was particularly proud of the transition from night to morning, effected with the sound of distant bells. This is Debussy at his most ‘realistic’, giving us a festive jumble of sounds and images.

Images can be a problematic work for concert programmers. There are justifications for considering the set as a single work: parallel moments of sonority; the frequent use of solo oboe and bassoon timbres. Together, the three movements form a satisfying whole, the patriotic Debussy expressing, perhaps, the well-adjusted French national character, in comparison with English morbidity and Spanish vulgarity! But all three together is potential overkill, risking a surfeit of consummate orchestral pictorialism, and the flamboyant central movement, Ibéria, is often performed alone. As you will hear in this concert, the beauties of this music can as easily be enjoyed through the individual movements, and are perhaps better set off by appearing as bookends to a program rather than as parts of a single work.

Julian Anderson (born 1967) The Imaginary Museum – Piano ConcertoThe World is a WindowJanáček’s Wells –SeaForest MurmursA Song Before DawnMountain

Steven Osborne piano

The composer writes…

Linking music to images is potentially contentious or problematic. Although there were images in my mind throughout this work – as shown by the movement titles explained below – it’s perfectly viable to listen throughout without giving any thought to anything but the sounds. This is above all an imaginary museum – your imagination should be let loose in hearing the work. But I see no reason to withhold the images in my mind, so here are a few explanations of what I was thinking about as I composed.

The Imaginary Museum is the title of a book by the French cultural politician André Malraux. Malraux argues that, due to the dispersal of great art around the world’s museums, it is only in one’s mind or else in book form that it’s possible to assemble a coherent collection of art nowadays. I decided to take the piano – that most immobile of instruments – on an imaginary journey to various locations, whether pictorially inspired or not. The acoustics of these virtual locations were as important to the sound of the music as any evocation of terrain. In practice, both factors engender changing musical relationships between piano and orchestra. At times the soloist leads, while at others echoing games are played out between soloist and orchestra; in one instance (the end of A Song Before Dawn) the orchestra takes the solo role with the piano accompanying.

The World is a Window conjures up the excitement of a journey. At the opening, the pianist seems almost to be testing the acoustic of the hall. The first stop on our journey may be the concert hall in which this piece is being played…

Janáček’s Wells. Czech composer Leoš Janáček was obsessed with the wells around his birthplace in Hukvaldy and wrote about their acoustics. Here, the pianist throws musical phrases into the virtual wells conjured up by the orchestra, bubbling and echoing the pianist’s music. The pianist’s final phrase lands not in a well but takes us straight out to…

Sea. Long ornate phrases from the piano against the flowing waters of the orchestra.

Composing for Steven Osborne is very stimulating: his repertoire is huge and highly varied, ranging all the way from Bach to Feldman, including free improvisation and jazz. I have tried to make use of the full range of his playing styles and touches in composing this concerto. The orchestration is colourful and varied, while always allowing the piano sufficient acoustic space to come through.

JULIAN ANDERSON

Forest Murmurs flow around the orchestra with the pianist threading their way through volatile, fantastical thickets of sound.

A Song Before Dawn. An imaginary bird (the pianist) sings in the Australian desert. The desert responds and sunrise bursts upon the scene (middle section), before a serene conclusion. The bird’s song is loosely inspired by the calls of the Pied Butcherbird and the Magpie.

Mountain. An evocation of the acoustics and physical grandeur of mountains from various viewpoints – below, ascending and from the summit – and at various times of day.

The Imaginary Museum is dedicated with admiration to the pianist Steven Osborne.

ADAPTED FROM A NOTE BY JULIAN ANDERSON

About the composer…

Born in London, Julian Anderson studied composition with John Lambert, Alexander Goehr and Tristan Murail. When he was 25, his Diptych for orchestra won the Royal Philharmonic Society’s Young Composer Prize, launching his career, and since then he has become one of the most esteemed composers of his generation, with performances worldwide.

He also enjoys a prominent academic career, with posts at the Royal College of Music, Harvard University and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, where he is Professor of Composition and Composer in Residence. He has also been Artistic Director of the Philharmonia Orchestra’s Music of Today series and Composer in Residence at Wigmore Hall.

His music is characterised by a fresh use of melody, vivid contrasts of texture and lively rhythmic impetus. Early influences included music from outside the Western concert tradition – especially the Lithuanian, Polish and Romanian traditions – and the Russian works of Stravinsky, as revealed in the popular Khorovod and Alhambra Fantasy.

Anderson’s significant output of orchestral music has been stimulated by residencies and associations with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Cleveland Orchestra and London Philharmonic Orchestra. In addition to Diptych, his orchestral works include Stations of the Sun, Fantasias, The Discovery of Heaven and Incantesimi. Among his recent works are two concertos: In lieblicher Bläue for violinist Carolin Widmann and The Imaginary Museum.

Dance also forms an important inspiration for his music, and in 2009 his association with choreographer Mark Baldwin led to a new ballet, The Comedy of Change. In 2014 his first opera, Thebans, was premiered by English National Opera.

Manuel de Falla Nights in the Gardens of Spain – Symphonic impressions for piano and orchestraEn el Generalife (In the Generalife) Danza lejana (Dance in the Distance) – En los jardines de la Sierra de Cordoba

(In the Gardens of the Sierra of Cordoba)

Steven Osborne piano

There’s truth in the claim that Falla had to go to Paris to complete his discovery of truly Spanish music, of which he became the greatest creator in the 20th century. The leading French musicians with whom Falla became as friendly as his reserved nature would allow included Debussy, Ravel and Dukas. This was the age of musical impressionism, and great impressionist works about Spain had already been composed, by French composers: Debussy’s Ibéria and Ravel’s Rapsodie espagnole. Both are night pieces, as though Spain comes most fully to life after sundown. Falla first conceived what became Nights in the Gardens of Spain in Paris in 1909; it was to be for solo piano, and the title was simply Nocturnes (echoing Debussy and Chopin). It was at the suggestion of the great Catalan pianist living in Paris, Ricardo Viñes, that Falla eventually changed his Nocturnes into an orchestral work with an important piano part, and he dedicated it to Viñes.

The title probably owes something to the fact that Falla completed the work while staying at Sitges, near Barcelona, in the house of the painter Rusiñol, famous for his impressions of Spanish gardens. Falla’s subtitle is ‘Symphonic impressions for piano and orchestra, in three parts’, but as is usually the case with ‘impressionist’ music, painting and literature played a larger part in the conception than the observation of nature. A poem by Francis Jammes and three from the Songs of Life and Hope by the Nicaraguan poet Rubén Dario seem to have influenced Falla. Dario’s poems concerned night sounds heard in the distance, melancholy night thoughts about the passing of youth and the difference between what was and what might have been. This is the atmosphere breathed by Nights in the Gardens of Spain, ‘headily subjective’, as English Falla expert Ronald Crichton observes, and inevitably reminding the listener of this vein in Debussy’s music.

The picturesque evocations of Falla’s titles are thus somewhat misleading, except that two of them clearly ‘locate’ the music in the Moorish-influenced south of Spain, in Andalusia. The Moorish tracery and the play of fountains in the

Manuel de Falla (pronounced ‘fire’) was one of the leading Spanish composers of the first part of the 20th century. He studied in Paris, where he was influenced by the colouristic and harmonic techniques of Debussy and Dukas, and the emerging trend for reviving classical forms from the past. His reputation was made by Nights in the Gardens of Spain, originally conceived for solo piano. In addition to his two ballets (The Three-Cornered Hat and Love, the Magician), he composed an opera, La vida breve. The Spanish Civil War prompted him to leave Granada for Argentina in 1939.

NIGHTS IN THE GARDENS OF SPAIN

The main title of this unique work suggests pictorial approach – atmospheric and nocturnal – and three scenes are suggested by the movement headings. But there’s a subtitle too: Symphonic impressions for piano and orchestra. This is symphonic music, for orchestra but with a solo piano. It isn’t a piano concerto, however – the piano part is intimately integrated with the orchestral fabric.

In the first movement listen for the simple tune introduced by the violas. The piano becomes more prominent in the second movement, and carries the music straight into the third movement, which adds a tinge of violence to Falla’s impressions.

12

Generalife, the leafy summer palace on the hill opposite the Alhambra of Granada, are a setting in which Falla could have heard the typically Andalusian music which inspires his own; although it was not until a few years later that Falla was to settle in Granada, he was born in Andalusia (in Cadiz), and had already composed that masterpiece of Andalusian music, El amor brujo (Love, the magician). Jaime Pahissa, author of Manuel de Falla: His Life and Works, finds in Nights in the Gardens of Spain two characteristic aspects of Andalusian music ‘for they alternate between a vague nostalgic quality and a brisk, exciting rhythm.’ The work was originally to have included an extra movement based on the Cadiz form of the tango, and its exclusion may explain why the nostalgic, reflective quality now predominates.

As in Debussy’s ‘symphonic sketches’ La Mer, so in Falla’s ‘symphonic impressions’: the underlying structural mastery of the composer makes the music far more than a sequence of moods or a disjointed travelogue. The first movement, for example, is virtually a set of continuous variations on the theme in small intervals stated by the violas playing near the bridge, and sounds like an accompaniment, prompting one commentator to say, misleadingly, that the piece is ‘pure atmosphere’. The last movement, with evocations of gypsy cante jondo (deep song), can be considered formally either as a rondo or as couplets with a refrain. Shortly after composing this movement, Falla was in a Cordoba clinic, recovering from an illness brought on, some say, by a hopeless passion of Pastora Imperio, the gypsy dance of El amor brujo (Love, the Magician).

Nights in the Gardens of Spain is not a concert piece for soloist and orchestra, but an orchestral piece in which the piano has an elaborate but still discreet solo part. It is going too far to say that the piano is merely an additional orchestral instrument, though that gets the emphasis right. If there were models for Falla’s originality of treatment, they lie not in the Romantic piano concerto but in works such as Vincent d’Indy’s Symphony on a French Mountain Song (Symphonie cévenole), with its piano first among equals and its cyclical treatment derived from Franck’s Symphonic Variations. Some have heard hints, too, in Falla’s work, of Stravinsky’s Petrushka, which Falla would have heard when it was new and which bears in its piano part the traces of being conceived as a concert piece for piano and orchestra. Best, though, to enjoy Nights in the Gardens of Spain as the only work of its kind.

conducting. Aveling was again soloist when the SSO performed it in 1976

with Hiroyuki Iwaki conducting. After this there was a long gap until our

most recent performance, in 2012, with Andrew Grams and Steven

Every concert night, when the musicians of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra pick up their instruments, they take musical notations that are fixed on a page and breathe extraordinary life into them. It is their artistry that miraculously brings the score alive.

The music we share with you in the Concert Hall tonight is the artistic realisation of pen and ink, ideas on paper – it may be a bit different to how it was in rehearsal, or how it sounds on other nights. That’s one of the gifts of live music-making – the shared energy, here and now, makes each performance special.

It’s exactly what we strive to achieve each time we present a new season to you – a season that is special, that anticipates the enthusiasm you bring as a music lover, that stimulates your curiosity and inspires you to enjoy more music with us.

The 2019 season is wonderfully diverse. The Season Opening Gala places Diana Doherty – a musical treasure – centre stage with Nigel Westlake’s Spirit of the Wild oboe concerto, reprising one of the most exciting premieres of my time in Sydney. The operas-in-concert continue with Britten’s Peter Grimes, headlined by a powerhouse duo – Stuart Skelton and Nicole Car. And, in a first for Australia, an amazing piece of theatre-with-music: Tom Stoppard and André Previn’s satirical Every Good Boy Deserves Favour.

My final program in 2019 – American Harmonies – brings together all-American showstoppers: the lyrical beauty of Copland’s Appalachian Spring; a new concerto by Christopher Rouse that showcases the incredible talent of one of our own musicians, bassoonist Todd Gibson-Cornish; and Harmonielehre by John Adams – one of the greats and a very dear personal friend. That spirit of warm friendship between you, me and the musicans is so important to our musical community.

SYDNEY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Founded in 1932 by the Australian Broadcasting Commission, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra has evolved into one of the world’s finest orchestras as Sydney has become one of the world’s great cities. Resident at the iconic Sydney Opera House, the SSO also performs in venues throughout Sydney and regional New South Wales, and international tours to Europe, Asia and the USA have earned the orchestra worldwide recognition for artistic excellence.

Well on its way to becoming the premier orchestra of the Asia Pacific region, the SSO has toured China on five occasions, and in 2014 won the arts category in the Australian Government’s inaugural Australia-China Achievement Awards, recognising ground-breaking work in nurturing the cultural and artistic relationship between the two nations.

The orchestra’s first chief conductor was Sir Eugene Goossens, appointed in 1947; he was followed by Nicolai Malko, Dean Dixon, Moshe Atzmon, Willem van Otterloo, Louis Frémaux, Sir Charles Mackerras, Zdeněk Mácal, Stuart

Challender, Edo de Waart and Gianluigi Gelmetti. Vladimir Ashkenazy was Principal Conductor from 2009 to 2013. The orchestra’s history also boasts collaborations with legendary figures such as George Szell, Sir Thomas Beecham, Otto Klemperer and Igor Stravinsky.

The SSO’s award-winning Learning and Engagement program is central to its commitment to the future of live symphonic music, developing audiences and engaging the participation of young people. The orchestra promotes the work of Australian composers through performances, recordings and commissions. Recent premieres have included major works by Ross Edwards, Lee Bracegirdle, Gordon Kerry, Mary Finsterer, Nigel Westlake, Paul Stanhope and Georges Lentz, and recordings of music by Brett Dean have been released on both the BIS and SSO Live labels.

Other releases on the SSO Live label, established in 2006, include performances conducted by Alexander Lazarev, Sir Charles Mackerras and David Robertson, as well as the complete Mahler symphonies conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy.

2018 is David Robertson’s fifth season as Chief Conductor and Artistic Director.
